Peacebuilding, facilitation, process design. Australia. South Sudan. All views my own... at the time of writing...

[POF @POFSouthSudan]

We asked the canine peacebuilding advisors of @PeaceCanal and @POFSouthSudan about the current situation in South Sudan. Their view is that if the people want peace, the people should have peace ! #ssox

A new thread: social presencing theatre to explore how to improve local ownership, coordination and communication in Jonglei and GPAA, South Sudan @RSRTFSouthSudan @PeaceCanal @Peaceforce @unmissmedia @UKinSouthSudan @CanSouthSudan @EUinSouthSudan @presencing_inst @IOMSouthSudan

2025-2030 Jonglei-GPAA. Key stakeholders have a strategy shaping up, after years of lessons and now an intensive 1.5 days of refining. Will it make the case for investment? @RSRTFSouthSudan @EUinSouthSudan @CanSouthSudan @UKinSouthSudan @WorldBankAfrica

[POF @POFSouthSudan]

Who would waste time drafting a collaborative 5 year strategy when there's currently no guaranteed funding for it, no call for proposals, and a sector in strife? ... Jonglei-GPAA area-based and government partners would! @UKinSouthSudan @RSRTFSouthSudan https://t.co/1WHBbvsvG6

What are your thoughts on the relationship between culture, gender a and peacebuilding? @minagano_kape reflects on experiences with Bridges of Peace @UKinSouthSudan #ssox https://t.co/XI2sVhTXCa

[David Nyuol Vincent Mang’ok @DavidNyuol]

The interpreting team in our peacebuilding work, especially its stalwarts Koang Nyang and Nhial Ding, make the whole thing possible. These guys are indefatigable! @UKinSouthSudan @SwissDevCoop @USAIDSouthSudan @CSRF_SS @CanSouthSudan

[POF @POFSouthSudan]

It's International Translation Day! Visitors to SS, would you survive without interpreters? Between communities, a huge recognition to Koang Nyang, Nhial Ding and the interpreting team for the trilingual peacebuilding work between Dinka, Nuer and Murle of Jonglei-GPAA @PeaceCanal

[Rob Lancaster @robalancaster]

Hope springs eternal... @csrf_ss you might be interested in this one! #ssot

[POF @POFSouthSudan]

A long way from peace, but on the path. Community-led approaches drive the @PeaceCanal approach, with the support along the way of the global community, through @UKinSouthSudan @Caritas_web @SwissDevCoop @USAID @RSRTFSouthSudan #SSOX https://t.co/Iu7EIQuW6L

[Peace Canal @PeaceCanal]

ICGS pre-planning meeting. Weird POF facilitation tools. Random containers of stones on the floor waiting for delegates to arrive... ??? @RSRTFSouthSudan @POFSouthSudan #ssot

[Rob Lancaster @robalancaster]

@DavidNyuol @RSRTFSouthSudan @POFSouthSudan ...who said there's no democracy in South Sudan?...

[Rob Lancaster @robalancaster]

Murle, Dinka and Nuer delegates, and partners, in Juba to work on agenda setting for next ICGS meeting #soupoftheday #ssot @PeaceCanal @Peaceforce @RSRTFSouthSudan

[David Nyuol Vincent Mang’ok @DavidNyuol]

It was great two days in Yirol, full of inspiring stories of personal change.

No other way but peace is the way.

'The people of South Sudan, the Troika, the EU and its Member States ... will judge deeds, not words' says the Troika in a statement of... words. Maybe some self-reflection from Troika on its mistakes could be welcome. A different approach to partnership? #ssot

Check out our latest @CSRF_SS paper, ‘Better Together?’, which explores the missed opportunities and potential risks of improved coordination and collaboration between humanitarians and peacebuilders in #SouthSudan.

Obstacles all the way along, but persistence from @WFP_SouthSudan and @Peaceforce meant we could take some small steps forward in engaging the Nanaam communities... #SSOT

[Peace Canal @PeaceCanal]

Community leaders, alongside @Peaceforce and supported by @WFP_SouthSudan and @VWB_VSF headed to Nanaam to engage communities in addressing ongoing violence against Jonglei neighbours #SSOT https://t.co/G8ZaO6C4Xi

Qantas seems not to be aware that South Sudan is an independent country. Only 10 years behind the times. Tried to update my phone number to be able to login - not possible @Qantas #SSOT #qantas
